Jessica Lee Makeup

This review has been long overdue because I’ve been going to Jessica since 2011. She’s done my make-​up for graduation day, Halloween, birthday and wedding events. Jessica has been my go-​to make-​up artist for the following reasons:
1. Availability. It’s not impossible to make an appointment with her given her busy schedule. She makes the effort to pencil you in into her busy schedule. Recently, she was also kind enough to book a hair styling appointment with Lucy right after my make-​up session. So convenient!
2. Jessica actually listens to what kind of make-​up style YOU want. Usually, make-​up artists end up doing their signature style on every client. Jessica, on the other hand, will stick to what you specifically ask her. I simply show her a picture of the make-​up I want to go for e.g. a smokey eye, a bronzed look, depending on the event, and she executes the look, on point.
3. Her TECHNIQUES. The make-​up lasts all day, eyelashes do not fall off, and most importantly, you’ll look so photogenic. She definitely takes her time, detail by detail.
Overall, if you’re planning for an important event, don’t hesitate to book an appointment with Jessica. She’ll make you look and feel your best. I promise.

Makeup artist Jessica is the BEST. Every time I get my makeup done from her, I get so many compliments.
What I love about her makeup is that it doesn’t look fake. I mean yes, she applies foundation, eyeliners, fake lashes etc but it never looks too much.
It is easy to book an appointment with her but I do recommend to contact her early especially during wedding season!
I am getting married next year and I already booked her! It is 1 year and 1 month away :)

I did a trial run for my makeup with Jessica for my wedding and was very impressed. She made me look absolutely amazing. She is a hidden gem in Los Angeles. Her prices are reasonable and she is truly talented. The only thing to be aware of is that she only speaks Korean so either bring a translator or rely on google. Regardless, it’s a small thing in the grand scheme of beauty.

Happily stepped out from Jessica’s makeup studio. A very talented artist with a magic wand. 2 thumbs up to accenting the facial feature to glow in the midst of a 8+ hour event. My skin gets to breathe the whole time.

Best makeup artist I have yet to see in Los Angeles.
Working as a model and participating in beauty pageants, I have tried my share of local and international makeup artists. Make-​up is the most crucial part of my job, and I’ve had my fair share of disastrous makeovers. With that being said, I am so thankful and relieved to have found Jessica and to have become and regular client of hers over the years.
For one thing, I have extremely dry and sometimes irritable skin. Jessica really knows the 411 when it comes to skincare and base. The moment she met me she pinpointed and immediately recognized the temperament of my skin, doing my foundation accordingly with more moist foundations and the right primers for me. Not only has this produced great results in photographs, but whenever I end a shoot or event for which I have used her services, my face has not had the heavy, dried out feeling I tend to get after a long day in makeuo.
Jessica is also the leading makeup artist in Koreatown when it comes to beauty pageants. I have used her exclusively when competing and becoming a title holder for both Miss Korea LA and Miss Asia USA, and with great results. First and foremost, her makeup stays on! Through all my outfit changes and hours under hot, bright lighting, her make up stays put on my face (no bleeding), and maintains its vibrancy without a caked-​on appearance. She also changes up my make up, making it a bit darker for my events on stage and softer for close-​up appearances and events. I also like that she does so many celebrities because this ensures that the looks she produces are not outdated. This type of sense is extremely important to me as a client.
Another thing to mention is that she uses only quality products. No drug store make up here. The make up she uses is always brand name and her brushes/​hands are always clean and sterile! This all makes a difference, and makes me feel as though I am really getting my money’s worth for her services.
If you are looking for make up for prom, your wedding, a beauty pageant, or even just because, this is a make up artist you can trust. She is always timely and her work and success is proof in itself!

Jessica is probably the #1 makeup artist in ktown. No joke. I’ve been going to her for about 3 years now and she has proven herself over and over again.
What differentiates her from most of the other Korean makeup artists in ktown is that she keeps up with modern times, learning and recognizing what the current styles are and applying those with perfection.
She has a large range of makeup styles too. Obviously as you can tell from all the pictures, she can do «Miss Korea» and wedding makeup probably with her eyes closed. For me (I will post all these pictures), she has done several different types. I’ve asked her to do my makeup for Halloween twice. «Jane cave woman» which was like a bronzed look and «kpop star» which, well, she made me look like someone from Girls Generation. I’ve had her do my makeup for NYE, White Wonderland, and per my request, we experimented with a sharp hot pink eye shadow look and I was SOOOO happy with that look! She has done my makeup for my work ID picture — I asked her to make me look good, but without caking it on because I would have to walk around the office all day and she did it perfectly. Today, I was a bridesmaid and the bride had all of us go to Marquis to get our makeup done. It turned out really bad at Marquis. Really bad. The person there hardly did anything (I could have done better! And I suck at makeup!). I told the bride that I’d be back real quickly and I drove super quickly to Jessica so that she would «fix» my makeup. She absolutely did and I can never thank her for how she helped me in a bind (while managing to not delay her current customers because she had two weddings and a dol to do makeup for!).
Jessica is THE BEST. She is not just a makeup person — she’s a makeup artist. She doesn’t just do what she wants or just repeats what has worked in the past. She makes it work for YOU and makes sure that you look special, beautiful, flawless, and effortless. I don’t know how else to stress that she’s the best. Find out for yourself. :)

Got my make up done and eyebrows trimmed last week for my grad photoshoot! She’s PRO! Really Love it! Really recommended! Thanks very much Jessica eonni!

Jessica did my makeup 7 years ago for my wedding and I still remember it as being the best makeup job ever! I just let her do her magic and my pictures looked amazing. It’s not just about being a good makeup artist, but it’s also about knowing small tips and ways to accentuate your best features in the best ways. She contours noses, fills in bald gaps, gives you a double eyelid if you don’t have one, etc.
When it came to doing family portraits for my baby’s 1 year birthday, I couldn’t wait to get my makeup done again by her! Once again she didn’t let me down. She knows what she’s doing — for pictures she makes it dramatic but of course it’s because it will look awesome for photos. (And why get your makeup done lightly if you can’t even see it?) just trust the professionals! I don’t even tell her what or how I want it done. I trust her completely!
If I were a millionaire I would get my makeup done by Jessica every single day!

Jessica is absolutely amazing! If I need to go to any special events, professional head shots, galas and weddings, she is my go-​to makeup artist.
Jessica is like the fairy godmother of makeup; she has this magic touch to turn a plain ordinary girl into a super model!
She has tons of experience with all skins types and eye shapes. She is extremely personable, professional and is super knowledgable about makeup and trend.
My only regret is that wish I found her sooner to do my wedding. I used another makeup artist and I totally looked like a Asian ’80’s lounge singer.
Thank you Jessica for always being my magical Fairy Godmother! I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a true professional!

Was going to look up Jessica’s phone number to book a makeup session for my upcoming maternity photos. Lo and Behold! She finally has her own Unilocal page
It’s been 10 years since she first worked her magic on my oily, acne-​ridden, too-​thin-​eyebrowed face. As my face, skin, (& eyebrows thickness) has changed, she has been consistent in always making me look beautiful. Plus, the makeup stays put. I would actually go as far to say that the texture looks even better throughout the day and even late into the night. I always get excited whenever the bride books Jessica, since it’s another opportunity to have my makeup done the «right way».
Jessica has done my makeup several times as a bridesmaid, for my engagement session, and even my wedding. I’m planning to have her do my makeup for all my future life events, such as the pregnancy photos, my baby’s first birthday, family portraits. And hey! If I have the extra cash, for every party and birthday I celebrate, hehe.
Plus, she’s super prompt in responding, easy to book a session (as long as she’s available), organized, creative, and caring. For my wedding, she wanted to know what type of photos I’ll be taking & what image I wanted to portray. She just wants to know who YOU are. I noticed that her personal service adjusts, giving me darker stronger makeup for my outdoor engagement photos and a softer dreamy look for my wedding. And as a bridesmaid, she adjusts to create a type of uniformity with the bride’s vision while still maintaining individuality for each bridesmaid.
I like how she’s always trying new makeup. But I would say her favorites are Chanel & Mac. She’s priced competitively, works fast, and super precise with her work. I remember she had to try 4 different lashes to get the perfect look for my engagement photos. Haha. She can work her magic on everyone, not just limited to Asian brides. My mom and aunt never felt prettier, than at my wedding with Jessica Lee’s magic makeup on;)
Don’t be intimidated by her list of high profiled clients– Miss Korea contestants, Kpop stars, Korean figure skater, & so on. She’s super humble, down to earth, and can make any plain Jane (yes, my name is Jane) look & feel beautiful. Jessica Lee is absolutely the best. I love her makeup skills, and I love her even more! Is that even possible?
Oh, I know she travels but she prefers to work out of her studio, in back of Hair Day salon. For me, it keeps the price affordable ;) Park in the private underground garage, it’s validated.

Jessica is the ONLY one I trust. STILL AFTER 6 YEARS!
Check out her website where there’s proof of all the gorgeous makeovers she’s done.
She has an jncredible resume, worked with many soap stars in Korea, celebrities, Miss Korea contestants, and beautified hundreds of brides .She did my friend’s wedding makeup and boy did she truly make her over! (no offense girl, you know I love you lol)
She’s worked with all ethnicities, but if you’re Asian and have never felt gorgeous after a makeover… you will SEE why everyone loves her work! Meticulous and understands YOUR face shape. As a monolid-​ed round faced Asian girl with sparse half-​circle eye brows, no makeup artist helped me feel pretty. But after one session with Jessica, I felt so cute and confident. She transformed me in the most natural looking way. She has the SWEETEST personality, so humble, you’ll feel so comfortable with her. But her eye is sharp!
She taught me how to do my makeup. And I owe her the WORLD for that. I couldnt just learn this on youtube because my face is unique to me. For example, she explained in detail the architecture of eyebrows and how it enhances the face. It can make you slimmer, sexier, smarter. She showed me what tools she used to achieve my look and I have been using her skills till this day.
She’s very reasonably priced, and she knows Jackie Chan! lol
Whenever I have an important event coming up, I make sure to RSVP at least a month in advance… she gets booked FAST.
Jessica Lee is THE makeup artist. You must let her DO YOU.

Jessica lee is best make up artist. thank you! Jessica!
